Oh wow, I hadn't heard that Danny. Thanks. They were one of my all time favorites. I used to sing along with them to practice singing harmonies and still love their songs. Never saw them live in person.

Here's the CNN article link - wow what some stats....

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/03/showbiz/singer-phil-everly-dies/


Quote from his wife in LA TIMES

Phil Everly, who with his brother, Don, made up the most revered vocal duo of the rock-music era, their exquisite harmonies profoundly influencing the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Byrds and countless younger-generation rock, folk and country singers, died Friday in Burbank of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, his wife, Patti Everly, told The Times. He was 74.

“We are absolutely heartbroken,” she said, noting that the disease was the result of a lifetime of cigarette smoking. “He fought long and hard.”

RIP Phil.

When I hear their music I instantly start singing along. Their songs were infectious.

RIP Phil.

My favourite Everly Bros song was "Ebony Eyes" (not Bob Welch's, but John D Loudermilks). I think it was on the flipside of Walk Right Back.

Phil's passing makes me very sad.

The Everly Brothers have become (since the 1990's) my favorite artist. (I love harmony, always have.)

I saw them 4 times, the last 3 with my wife. The most recent is hard to count, as they sang only 4 songs in the middle of a (final?) Simon and Garfunkle national tour which came to our town. Shortly after this tour, the Everlys retired from performing.

We saw them a few years prior at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas, a very nice venue (from an acoustics point of view) that holds about 900.

That concert was incredible. I've seen comments about it, years later, on the internet. Albert Lee played guitar and mandolin. Buddy Emmons was on steel guitar.

This was a top 10 concert for me (of well over 1000 that I have seen).

In the late 80's or early 90's we saw them at what was a very poor show. They were squabbling and clearly did not want to be there.


I've never forgotten my first Everlys' concert. The San Antonio venue held a few thousand, but only a few hundred were there. The British invasion had hit (I think it was 1964).

I remember Don peering out from the stage after a couple of songs (I guess he could tell by the applause that there weren't very many in the audience). He asked Phil, "Where is everybody?" Phil shrugged.

I was very young, but had already been to quite a large number of concerts.

I'd never heard anything like this. I wondered if there was a chorus behind the side curtains. So did my friends.

If there had been a backstage chorus, it would have been a choir of angels.

Such was the quality of their harmonies.

They played for over 2 hours. They played their asses off. (I never forgot that lesson.)


To this day, that Everlys'show was the best concert I've ever attended.



Here are links to a couple of songs that Phil wrote:



Phil Everly's home recorded demo of "When Will I Be Loved", his most famous song: It's a ballad!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IusupFf-XLg "When Will I Be Loved" (1959)


This outtake is take 2. It's still slower than the single. Buddy Harmon is closing in on the single's intricate drumming. The guitar part is beginning to take shape. The riff is already there. The Everlys change a couple of things for the single's vocal, but it's (I think) an astonishing vocal for take 2.

It's fascinating to hear Don (once again) try to run things (on Phil's song!), to hear them bicker, and to hear an exasperated "adult" (could be Cadence head Archie Bleyer, but it sounds like Chet to me) bark at them!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLYjLMMOhcE "When Will I Be Loved" (1960)


This mid-1970's solo recording by Phil Everly shows what an accomplished songwriter Phil was. Note towards the end, when he sings harmony with himself, how closely the sound mirrors the Everly Brothers' sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7VQopQIBcE "The Words In Your Eyes" (1975)


Though Phil Everly was an incredibly talented man, he was very humble.

Along the way he changed Roy Orbison's life. (It's highly likely Roy would have never happened without Phil's involvement. That's quite a story!)

God Bless you, Phil for a life well lived!

I'm posting this second lengthy post on the chance that something I say here or the links will cause someone reading to try some of the Everly Brothers recordings. I hope they will experience some of the same joy and awe that I have when they listen.

I've become something of an Everly Brothers completist. I have several box sets, including the 3 box sets from Bear Family.

I think there are dozens of stellar Everly Brothers' recordings, many more than their monster hits. I've included links to a few (non-hit) tracks from one CD to (hopefully) arouse curiosity.

My favorite album (of thousands) is by the Everly Brothers, "It's Everly Time" (1960).

I found my first vinyl copy (from the Netherlands) in the early 1980's.

Within a couple of years, it was clear to me that this was my favorite album. It has remained so to this day.

In the 1996 (?) Warners UK issued "It's Everly Time" (1960) / "A Date With The Everly Brothers" (1960) on CD, with a few bonus singles included, among them "Ebony Eyes", "Walk Right Back", and "Temptation".

Excluding greatest hits compilations, this is by far my favorite CD. These are their first two albums for Warner Brothers, and their 2 best albums on Warner Brothers.

The players are Nashville's "A" team, including Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, Buddy Harmon, Bob Moore, Hank Garland, etc.

The recording engineer was Bill Porter

These personnel are the same on both albums and they were each recorded in Nashville's RCA Studio "B".

The guitars and the drums are elevated in the mixes on "A Date With..."

The recording is exquisite, matching the sound of the vinyl album. I have used the vinyl and then the CD to audition speakers.

Though the recording equipment was rudimentary in 1960, these recordings are STUNNING on high end equipment (speakers) or high end headphones.

"Walk Right Back" is one of the final tracks (the singles follow the 2 albums). It features a rather complicated rhythm section and this track is presented with a preceding false start.

You listen to take 5, and then it hits you. You've just listened to 25 tracks with unbelievable musicianship (not just the Everly Brothers)

AND

they have all been LIVE studio recordings. No overdubs, no pitch correction.


It's mind blowing.


"It's Everly Time" is the perfect antidote to an "expressway parking lot".

It mellows you out.

These two albums, and especially "A Date With" with the elevated guitar and drum amplitude are clearly the blueprint the Beatles used for their initial albums.

There was only one single release (hit) from "It's Everly Time"; Don wrote "So Sad (to watch good love go bad).

Here are 3 songs from the album's remaining 11 tracks. These show the quality of tracks present on this album.

These internet mp3's pale in comparison to the incredible sonics on the Warners UK "It's Everly Time / "A Date With The Everly Brothers" CD.


"Sleepless Nights" was never released as a single by the Everly Brothers. Most Everly-heads (including me) feel this would have been a million selling single.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPkmQ525VHk "Sleepless Nights" (1960)


It isn't apparent on the mp3, but there is astonishing "air" in "Carol Jane" when Phil goes high on the harmony (Warners UK CD, high-end speakers / headphones).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azvlRMpnKGs "Carol Jane" (1960)


"Some Sweet Day" captures the vibe of "It's Everly Time". It features absolutely perfect guitar fills by Chet Atkins.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42DwLSPVxD0 "Some Sweet Day" (1960)

Here are two album tracks from the companion "A Date With The Everly Brothers" album on the CD.


"Donna Donna" has an astonishing mistake by the rhythm guitarist (probably Ray Edenton who was the BEST) 20 seconds in. God Bless them for keeping this take. This song includes killer lines and banal ones too. I posted this link because on the runout the Everlys are acappella and you can
clearly hear what they are doing, sliding from note to note, in perfect harmony. (!!!) They do the slide thing on "Stick With Me Baby" too, one of my all-time favorite EB recordings, also on "A Date With..."!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BJVqoqL8Yo "Donna Donna" (1960)


"A Change of Heart" is simple (one tune) song, but a beautiful one. On the first phrase the harmony is just better than everyone else. After that it's perfect. Punctuated by perfect guitar fills by Chet Akins in the first half. Then a key change and Floyd Cramer comes in with a beautiful piano part leading to a lovely piano coda.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSLFB5LmF7g "A Change of Heart" (1960)



Hopefully somebody out there hears something in these links and decides to investigate the Everly Brothers further.

I can't emphasize enough the sound quality of the Warners UK CD, especially as compared the sound over the internet.

Also the liner notes (booklet) are about as good as it gets!

Amazon shows the Warners UK CD at a little over $15, but as temporarily out of stock. I'm assuming this is because of Phil's death.

There is a 5 CD compilation on Amazon called "5 Classic Albums - Everly Brothers" on Amazon for a little over $13. This has the complete "It's Everly Time" and "A Date With The Everly Brothers" albums, the singles mentioned, and it appears nearly all of the Cadence Records recordings.

This is currently the #1 Pop / Rock /Oldies album in sales on Amazon and is also currently temporarily out of stock.

The label is "Real Gone". One of the reviews has all the tracks listed.

Many of the reviews comment on the great sound, but I have no idea if it is really great, or equal to the sound of the Warners UK release.

But the number of tracks and the price are astonishing.

It took me a while to come around on this one, because I generally don't care for recitations. This one is well done, however; Don's acting lessons helped.

This is the first Everly Brothers recording that has a backing chorus (the Anita Kerr Singers) though many of their prior recordings seemed chorus backed because they were so smooth. The effect is eerie, and the Everlys' harmonies are perfection.

Once I got the Warners UK CD, "Ebony Eyes" became one of my favorite EB recordings.

The attention to detail is amazing. Near the end of Don's recitation, after "the beacon light from the control tower as it whipped through ...", Buddy Harmon's drums become rolling thunder. This isn't so evident on the radio, and with the computer you have to use headphones to hear it.

But on that Warners UK CD, with top speakers, it's pretty dramatic. An aural masterpiece!

(I assume it's compressed and rolled off bass drum or tom.)


I love "Ebony Eyes"!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQOjxA8rrks "Ebony Eyes" (1961)

BTW, this recording is crystal clear on the Warners UK CD, stunningly so.

Nothing like I heard when I clicked on the link.
